*This is a scheduled post. Thank you for reading.  

As Easter approaches, I have been thinking about what I should make to share with you all. A new recipe or my cake creations?  Maybe a DIY  fondant bunny to place a top of a cake?

As I was pondering about what to make, I came across the In Touch magazine that arrived in the mail and I got convicted.  It reminded me of the true meaning of Easter. I was even more convicted when I read about what Dr. Charles Stanley had said about it.

Prelude to Summer

Posted in Holidays/Events by
 It has been an overwhelming month or so with so many projects to do, my blog, family responsibilities coinciding each other.  I took a break from time to time to enjoy the company of my friends and to enjoy nature.
 Lunch Date
My friend, her guest and I went out to lunch at this Asian Bistro in Chantilly.  She highly recommended this Bento box served with Miso soup, Shumai, California roll, rice and a choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, or salmon.  I chose salmon.

I was surprised how large the serving was, but I didn’t complain.  I loved what I had in my Bento box. It had all of my favorite Asian foods.

It’s a bit late, but welcome spring!  I’m just happy that it’s officially spring. However, the weather is still a bit cold for me, especially in the morning.  I hope it’s warmer in your world and basking in the sun.  I baked this cake to welcome the season.  I made my favorite Purple Yam (Ube) and Coconut Screw pine (Buko Pandan). I love the vibrant green color from the screw pine and the purple color from the yam.  And the flavor?  Insanely delicious! ❤  The icing tasted like ice cream.  This cake surely is my best pick to celebrate spring or Easter.

Color Me Purple

Posted in Holidays/Events by

I have been extremely busy the past few weeks that my body finally gave in with a headache and sniffles.  I wanted to stay in bed and get more sleep yesterday, but I had to rise, so I could bake my sister’s birthday cake. It was her birthday yesterday. Good thing I bought her flowers beforehand.

I could barely function in the kitchen.  I didn’t have any idea how her cake should look like.  I just worked with whatever I’ve got here at home for decorations. To my surprise, I managed to create a beautiful and delicious cake. I remember her love of nature and favorite color purple, so I cut some fresh flowers for the top of the cake and placed a pink butterfly on the edge.  I used small purple fondant flowers to decorate around the the bottom.  I also made her French macarons and placed them in a festive, birthday favor bags. I basically colored her day purple with her favorite treats. 🙂  Happy belated birthday Sister Elsa!
